In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a heater with boilerattached. Fig. 2 is a view of a heater with the furnace pan. Figs. 3, 4,5, and U are views of a heater and its pipes and attaclnnents, as willhereinafter be described.

The nature of my invention consists in an arrangement for using charcoalas a substitute for spirits in portable heaters, as is now generallyemployed.

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, 1 willnow proceed to describe the construction and operation of the same.

in Fig. l, A is the heater-frame. B is a boiler, fitting close upon therim of the heater-frame A and movable. Near the rim of the heater-framea pipe, U, is attached, as shown at l), of a suflicient height toproduce the required dral't, where it is turned down. in the directionof the arrows F F, and continued under the bottom of the heater-frame A,as shown at 0, Fig. 5, thence up through the heater-frame andfurnace-pan G and ash-pan N.

Near the top of the pipe U is a valve, E, for the escape of the smokeand gas when it is requisite, but when closed forces the same downthrough the pipe and into the furnacepan, where it is consumed by beingbrought in contact with the tire.

The ash-pan N, Fig. 4, is provided with legs I l, to allow asuflicientspace for draft, and a portion of its periphery constructedwith openings J, to admit air under the furnace-pan G.

The bottom of the heaterframe A is provided with openings for theadmission of air, fitted with a sliding plate, L, with correspondingopenings opposite those in the heatert'rame, and which may be closed bythe operation of the sliding plate operated by the bandle M.

The furnace-pan G is provided with an opening, 0, in the upper portionof its rim, as seen in Fig. 6, corresponding with the mouth of the pipeU, for the escape of the smoke and gas.

In Fig. 4, K is a tube, permanently attached to the bottom of theash-pan N, and incasing that portion of the pipe U within theheaterframe A.

Fig. 6 shows a view of theinternal arrangement of the heater, showingthe ash pan N, furnace-pan (i, and case K, the dotted lines 0 0representing the heatel frame.

Having thus fully described my said improvement, what I claim as myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

2. The ash-pan N and the furnace-pan G, in combination with the pipe U,all arranged and operated as described.
